In his paper before the Health Con-
gress lately held in London, which was
attended with interest by many Ameri-
can practitioners and sanitarians, DR..
George Wilson makes some startling
statements as to the domestic santa
ton of the rural districts In England,
He declares that one-third OF the rural
homes in England are unfit for human
~habitation, and that 700.000 novels
should be Immediately demolished and
replaced by habitable dwellings. In
many villages half the cottages have
only two sleeping rooms, and ten in
every hundred only one, while the pro-
visions for disposing of excretla were
|d~lsgraceful to the boosted civilization
of the country.
There is nothing so sweet as a duty,
and all the best pleasures in life come
in the wake of duties done.

HoRsEsHoEs made entirely of the
horns of sheep have been tested of late
in Lyons, France. Horses shod with
them have been driven over a variety
OF pavements at a rapid pace without
slipping. They are more expensive
than the ordinary iron horseshoes, but
they are more durable and more readily
adapt themselves to the changing size

OAT BREAD.-Dr. Randolph tells us
that the reason oatmeal cakes do not
pail on the taste, which 80 easily
wearies of oatmeal porrldge, Is be-
cause the porridge is swallowed soft
without an effort. The oat cake. on
the contrary, must be chewed, and this
develops sweetness. instead of the
sameness of boiled oatmeal. Oatmeal
cannot well be made into a leaf like
wheaton flour, but it Ia be prepared
by mixing the oatmeal, salt and cold
water into a rather still dough, which,
after being well kpeaded, should be
rolled into a thin cake about the
thickness of a half. dollar; then put it
on a very clean griddle, no grease on
the griddle, and only moderately hot;
bake on one side till it just begins
to brown, but do not brown 1t; then
take the cake off the griddle and
lay it on a clean board, baked side
uppermost; after the cake has dried
and almost cooled, lay it on a board
or any other suitable implement and
slowly toast the uncooked side before
the fire; this makes a very crisp cake,
keeping a long time if protected against
moisture. Children are fond of it, and
chewing is a beneficial exercise foc the
mouth and teeth.

A memoir by NJ. E. Maumene treats
on the presence of Manganese in plants
and animals and on the part played ~
this substance in the animal system.
Tea and tobacco are found to contain
the largest quantities OF metallic maH-
ganese, which is on the whole injurious
to animals and constantly rejected by
them; hence he infers it should no
longer be employed incidentally.

Some laborers taking clay out Of the
Ancholme Valley at BrIgg, Lincoln
shire. England, came recently upon a
very ancient wooden way at q depth of
about sever feet from the surface Of the
earth. 1t consists of heavy beams OF
oak laid transversely and fastened to
the underlying glacial drift by oak
pins. 1t is thought that this way ex-
tends nearly across the valley, and that
it was built by neolithic men. At n
rate, there are six feet of clay on the
top Of it deposited by overfiows Of the
Humber. Above the clay there is about
q foot deep of peat, and on the stratum
Of peat the Romans have made roads.

shall serve as a fire-escape in time of
danger. 1t consists OF four sets of
springs, Z feet long and just wide
enough when laid together to sit in a

adjoining n by a clamp, which unites
iron appendages fastened to the end of
the springs. These appendages add to
the length of the arrangement SO as to
make it about 80 feet long while hang

each set of springs is fitted with rungs
made of wrought-iron, the only part of

rungs, which are on the outside when
the springs depend from the window,
and about Is inches apart, form a
pretty strong ladder, which may be

Herr Baehr, OF Dresden, has been
conducting a series of experiments IN
the Royal Theatre in that city, whose
results are OF the highest Importance IN
Calculating the causes of the spontane-
GUS explosions that sometimes occur In
Touring mills. lie has found that the
leather belts employed for the trans
mission of energy IN manufactures are
such rapid generators of electricity
that flour, malt and other finely divided
forms of dust may be spontaneously
fred and exploded thereby. Accidents
OF this kind, due, no doubt, to the
u exposed by Professor Baehr,
have frequently taken place in large
mills ID this country, and, as any finely
divided form of dry combustible mate
rial is liable to be thus exploded, the
contingency is one against which proper
provision should be made.

How TO MAKE OATMEAL BREAD.
An important use for oatmeal not

ommon in Scotland, is in making
bread. 1t cannot well be made into

be prepared by mixing the oatmeal,
salt and cold water into a rather stif
dough, which, after being well kneaded
should be rolled into q thin cake about
the thickness of a half dollar; then put
1t on a very clean griddle. no grease
on the griddle, and only moderately
hot; bake on one side till it just begins
to brown. but do not brown it; then
take the cake off the griddle and lay it
on q clean board, baked side upper
most; after the cake has dried and
almost cooled, lay it on a board or any
other suitable implement and slowly
toast the uEcooked side before the fire;
this makes a very crisp cake, keeping
a long time if protected against ex-
posure to moisture. Children are fond
of it, and chewing it is beneficial ex-
ercise for the mouth and teeth.
